It's amazing... the things you learn when you own a National Association rulebook. As a resident of a AAA-town (Now we're the Mets! But we were the Indians... and the Pirates... and the White Sox... and so on...), I had no idea that there even _was_ a lower ERA standard in the minors.
Makes sense... after all, all doubleheaders are only 7 innings...
... But the fact that I didn't know that still blows my mind!
